What if Muggles KNEW about magic?

About witches, wizards, wands, spells and flying broomsticks.

And what would they say if they knew that some of these magical folk could teleport across the country in seconds…

erase memories with a flick of the wrist…

and kill without leaving a trace?

Today we’ll be answering a question that the foundation of the Wizarding World was built to avoid: What would happen if the muggles found out about magic?

Let’s dive in to it.

Today we’ve got a bit of an interesting one. Earlier this year, I made two separate videos—one ranking the most powerful wizards, and the other ranking the most powerful witches. In those videos, I covered ten of each.

And today, just over 10 months later, we’re going to pitting them against each other and taking a closer look at what the top 20 most powerful looks like..When both groups are ranked together.

Before you watch, make sure to comment YOUR top 20 down below, then check back at the end to see how your list differed from mine.

It took some editing trickery to mesh this all together, so forgive me if anything’s a little off.

Anyway, let’s dive in to it.

If we go strictly by canon, then the only elves that we’re ever made privy to in the Harry Potter universe are house-elves—beings bound to magical servitude, owned by wizarding families, and expected to obey without question. But in one of my previous videos—The History of House-Elves—I introduced the idea that house-elves are likely not a natural, original species at all, but rather the end result of something that happened to elves long ago.

I think that there was a time when elves were not bound to masters… A time when they existed independently, outside of wizarding households. And while the books never confirm this outright, the broader context of the Wizarding World makes the idea surprisingly reasonable.

This video is one part of a multi-part series. We left part 1 at the conclusion of the battle of the astronomy tower. Except, in this version of events... things went very differently. Dumbledore, alive and well, survived the battle because he never succumbed to temptation and put on the Gaunt Ring.

Dumbledore’s death was one of the most heartbreaking moments in the entire series, a turning point that shattered the illusion of safety Harry had always relied on. But not only that, it represented a distinct shift in innocence in the series- a moment that made it clear that no one, not even the greatest wizard alive, was beyond Voldemort’s reach. It also left things looking pretty bleak for the good guys, with Death Eaters taking over Hogwarts, Voldemort’s power growing, and Harry running out of options.

And while Dumbledore’s death doesn’t actually happen until the Half-Blood Prince, what many fans may not realize is that it was hinted at as early as Prisoner of Azkaban.

Today we’re talking about the Death of Albus Dumbledore—and what might have happened if he’d survived the night atop the Astronomy Tower. This one’s going to be a dooz

In the past I made a wand documentary that covered all of the wand materials- woods, cores, the lot. I even discussed wand FLEXIBILITY and SIZE, and how those things can be indicative of the type of wizard wielding the wand. But what I strangely never touched on…Was wand CREATION. Or rather, construction.

How are wands actually..Made?

And what makes this question increasingly interesting is just how few wandmakers there are in the Wizarding World. Sure, it’s possible that we only see a handful of wandmakers in the series, but among the ones we do encounter, it almost feels as though they hold a kind of monopoly. And if they’re truly skilled enough to command that level of dominance, then it only makes me even more curious about what exactly it is they’re doing behind the scenes.

Today we’ll be discussing the enigmatic process of WAND making, and (hopefully) unpacking what it is that makes wandmakers like Ollivander so special.

You probably remember Sirius Black’s death in Order of the Phoenix—a tragic moment amidst the Battle of the Department of Mysteries that seemed to instantly shift the entire tone of the story.

But according to J.K. Rowling’s original draft, that wasn’t how Sirius was meant to die at all...
